Trying to gauge my profile for applications next year. Would appreciate any advice on what schools I should target! Think M7 -HSW as target with HW as reaches.

3 YOE in Supply Chain Tech Consulting (start up)
3.7 GPA
760 GMAT
EC: Led build out of database and analytics capabilities for a large pro Bono consulting organization. President and founder of junior board.
Post MBA Goal: MBB Consulting

UG from an SEC school, but I graduated with honors in Data Science. My lower YOE worries me.

HW is reach but S is target?

funny

Sorry I was not clear - S would be somewhere I consider a reach but I’m not planning on applying to S so I didn’t include!

For clarity - 3 YOE at time of application, 4 at matriculation.

I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business.

I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?
